Vactor Repair
To approve the fan replacement in Vactor #14-087 by CN Wood Co for the
amount of $26,984.16. Funding will be through: Department: 169 -
Wastewater; Fund: Wastewater; Activity: 54 Property Services.
CN Wood Co Quote
Vactor #14-087 has experienced a failure of the vacuum system that damaged
vacuum fans, the deflector plates, fan housing and attaching hardware, which
makes the truck inoperable. Attached is a quote for the necessary repairs.
The replacement of these fans is a technically difficult process that requires careful
alignment procedures and clearance adjustments set using Vactor tooling to obtain the
correct clearances. The exterior of the fan housing will be painted to match the color of
the equipment.
CN Woods is the New England distributor for Vactor and is the sole source for
this type of repair in the area. They have the necessary tooling and trained
mechanics to expedite the needed repairs. Additionally, CN Wood will
warranty the parts for | year if installed by them.
